Violator

Hi folks, just got a slew of notices from Mediafire regarding removal of files in violation of their terms. I guess this is it, atleast for now. I'm curious though, who keeps reporting the files? What's your motivation? Please leave a comment and explain yourself, anonymously if you prefer. I just want to know. My motivation is to dig up and share forgotten music that was never released commercially. Everything presented here has been out of print for decades. There's no profit in this for me, quite the contrary. Come on, speak up!

It may not be any of us, trondie. It might be scour bots that look for names of artists and record companies and file "violation" notices with hosts like MediaFire automatically.I do wish I weren't still having trouble getting your file list at HUSH seek, but I did find an intermediary who can, assuming that most recent Golden Ring is in your shares.

Would hate to see Dusty Shelf go the way of Holy Warbles... let us know if you will be setting up shop privately or moving elsewhere. I'll add my thanks for all the great library finds you've given us!

Recording vinyls is an hard and long work!Who will share rare Library LP if yoo can't?!The only place i saw these LP is here!!!But there are stupid & jealous guy everywhere...Ptrond, if yoo need help, i'm here.

As usual, I'm behind on this, but I support what everyone has said. I thought the WeTransfer system worked well, though it turned out that I had already downloaded the file. Your site is consistently excellent, and I'd hate to see it disappear.

that is definitly a bummer :( its rediculous how the internet is being policed. just shows how easily everything can be controlled. like, i cant even download a fucking library record? what the fuck is going on!? who gives a shit? anyways props to ptrond, he's been hooking it up for years on the blog circuit. PORNOTROND IS GOD. thank you

'Trond, you've done awesome things and made people's musical lives richer thru your efforts. Thank you, and let's hope this isn't the end. Reporter...if you really are out there...you're bad at life, and I pity you deeply.

thanks for not giving up on the blog, your work is highly appreciated. So many times I've seen links get deaded or complaints submitted that made absolutely no sense. Really seems like these agencies have no clue what they're doing most of the time.The new host you've been using seems to be pretty good so far. Thanks for keeping on!

You're amazing dude, it's horrible how things are closing in on something so honest and honourable. Like an Anon said earlier, you've made our musical lives richer. We're out here ready to support you, and I hope a way to continue unhindered will be found!

Hey Pornotrond, I am totally gutted that lots of your posts have been pulled or links rerouted (Yan Tregger's Hypnosis, I feel like crying!)

I have always cheerleaded Mediafire in the past and have had an account for years but it seems there has been an outbreak of the fascist mind amongst their policy makers and it seems the bots they send out to scour the files stored on their servers have gone gaga deranged - I read recently someone got all their files pulled because the song titles were similar to a couple of copyrighted book titles!

So it maybe as litlgrey says, that the copyright MF scour bots are on copyright steroids but equally, there are some total assholes out there so who knows.

One idea I thought is to ask people to reup the albums they like using their own file sharing accounts and post the links in the comments under the post... maybe reward regular re-posters with the occasional FLAC-WAV copy and/or an advanced copy of a future album post...

Not that any of us should be rewarded, really, we should all be reposting links as a thanks to all the hard work and effort PT puts into the blog.....
